The cost-quantity relations and the diverse patterns of "learning by doing" : Evidence from India
Dosi, Giovanni; Grazzi, Marco; Mathew, Nanditha - 2016
"Learning-by-doing" is usually identified as a process whereby performance increases with experience in production. The paper investigates different patterns of "learning by doing", studying learning curves at product level. Cost-quantity relationships differ a lot across products belonging to...

In order to stand up you must keep cycling : change and coordination in complex evolving economies
Dosi, Giovanni; Virgillito, Maria Enrica - 2016
In this work we discuss the main building blocks, achievements and challenges of an evolutionary interpretation of the relation between mechanisms of coordination and drivers of change in modern economies, seen as complex evolving systems. It is an evident stylised fact of modern economic...

Animal spirits, lumpy investment and endogenous business cycles
Dosi, Giovanni (contributor); Fagiolo, Giorgio (contributor) - 2007 - June 2006
In this paper, we present an evolutionary model of industry dynamics yielding endogenous business cycles with 'Keynesian' features. The model describes an economy composed of firms and consumers/workers. Firms belong to two industries. The first one performs R&D and produces heterogeneous...

Capabilities accumulation and development : what history tells the theory
Dosi, Giovanni; Yu, Xiaodan - 2018
In this contribution we offer a broad overview of the technological, institutional and policy dynamics associated with the great transformation - borrowing Karl Polanyi (1944) expression - leading from traditional, mostly rural, economies to economies driven by industrial activities (and...

Modeling industrial evolution in geographical space
Bottazzi, Giulio; Dosi, Giovanni; Fagiolo, Giorgio; … - 2007
In this paper we study a class of evolutionary models of industrial agglomeration with local positive feedbacks, which allow for a wide set of empirically-testable implications. Their roots rest in the Generalized Polya Urn framework. Here, however, we build on a birth-death process over a...

The footprint of evolutionary processes of learning and selection upon the statistical properties of industrial dynamics
Dosi, Giovanni; Pereira, Marcelo C.; Virgillito, Maria … - 2015
Evolutionary theories of economic change identify the processes of idiosyncratic learning by individual firms and of market selection as the two main drivers of the dynamics of industries. Are such processes able to robustly account for the statistical regularities which industrial structures...

Sectoral and geographical specifities in the spatial structure of economic activities
Bottazzi, Giulio; Dosi, Giovanni; Fagiolo, Giorgio; … - 2007
This work explores the spatial distribution of productive activities in the Italian manufacturing industry. We propose an econometric model which tries to disentangle locationspecific from sectoral drivers in the dynamic process of spatial agglomeration. The basic idea is that the former...
